My laptop: Now 20% more Puerto Rican
This is getting out wayyyy out of hand… I went to pick my laptop up off my desk and the battery fell out. Why? Over time, the clips that held it in place melted from the heat. So in order for it to stay in place, I have to duct tape it on.
So here’s the cumulative list of the ghetto shit wrong with my laptop:
- No sound in 32 bit operating systems without headphones (hardware failure/ no formatting or driver fixes it)
- Right side USB port doesn’t work at 2.0 speeds and is not powered (hardware problem)
- Memory card reader does not work with any driver installed
- Touchpad is physically warn out and jerks the mouse all over the place
- LCD is extremely dim and the whites look yellowed
- LCD has patches of bright light/ wear spots
- Battery lasts 30 minutes
- Ethernet cables do not click in to the port because the cheap plastic locking piece fell off
- Video card: 128MB Radeon Mobility 200m that can’t render 20FPS on normal in Unreal 2004 (which is 6 years old)
- Only 1GB of RAM which runs out daily, plus its shared with the video memory, so I get even less
- No built in mic or webcam
- Thing is absolutely huge
- The black paint over the metal on the speaker grate wore off so you see gray and it looks like crap
- 64 bit cpu is not being taken advantage of (32 bit OS and <3GB of RAM)
I’d get a new one but I really don’t like the options right now. I have been checking processor and GPU ratings all over the place and can’t find a Sony Vaio, HP or Dell that I like with the components I want in it. It seems that the ones with the good processors have half assed video cards and the ones with good video cards have crappy processors.
Fuckin A.
